I love all the strange names in Colosseum and XD. I always have a great time making fun of all the weird names when I play.

I have battled people with somewhat "normal" names (e.g. I've heard of people named "Venus" in real life), but they are rare in these games and I'm always surprised when I find someone who has a name I'm familiar with.

It's weird how the names are so abnormal it's surprising when you see a normal one.
I'm battling a trainer right now called Keto. It's almost normal, it sounds like the name of a 9 year old protagonist of a Studio Ghibli film.

Normal names are such a rarity in Colosseum lol. I think my favorite oddity may be Rider Lorgo...and that's if I'm spelling correctly. I almost wouldn't be surprised if some trainer called Yolo faced me.

Now that I think about it and since I'm looking at it again... yeah, a lot of them have weird names. Some of them really funny, lol.
Strangely enough, there were some whose names were almost normal, the only thing is that the spelling's wrong.

I think the most normal name I've seen was Teana or something like that. It's like the were playing Scrabble with the names and whenever they got a coherent word from their draw they made it a name. Some are quite funny as well.

I think there was a trainer named Trilo... Had the 2nd gen starters on his team. Ingenious.
Anyway, I've accepted their place in Colo/xd, and decided to use them as a silly game: whenever you meet a new trainer in colo/xd, follow these steps. If you can't complete a step, proceed to the next one:
1. Laugh at the ridiculous name.
2. Replace letters in his/her name to spell an actual word. (Nascour, NASCAR, etc.)
3. Observe the trainer and figure out why he was named something so obviously a real word. (Trilo)
4. Congratulate yourself for finding an interesting name. Maybe you'll use it someday... (Dakim seems pretty unique)

I don't play pokemon much. You probably have way better pokemon than me. But I've got:
A Lugia with that knows Psycho Boost
And a Togepi with Serene Grace, that knows Tri Attack and Ancient Power
